Upgrades & Modifications

Existing machines can be adapted to new conditions on the shopfloor through Broetje-Automation’s services for upgrades and modifications. New possibilities arise from the modified systems, such as an increase in efficiency. Together with our customers we find individual solutions for the new requirements and show the corresponding configuration possibilities. A distinction is made between upgrades and modifications. The new range of functional features, brings an optimized production situation.

The factory of the future includes intelligent process integration and adaptive competencies to be flexible enough to adjust to different situations on the shop floor. Together with our customers, we already manage to enable future-oriented high-tech production today

Upgrades

Adapting to changes in the production process does not have to be complicated. Our upgrades department specializes in extending the functionality of various systems to adapt them to new customer specifications. In this way, a wide range of industrial applications can be implemented and reconfigured in an existing machine – A sustainable alternative to buying new systems.
